Bash & Linux CLI Dataset

What This Dataset Is

A supervised fine-tuning (SFT) dataset that teaches a language model to produce correct Bash commands, shell scripts, and Linux CLI operations — including Arch Linux and Ubuntu/Debian specifics. The assistant responses are executable commands or scripts that directly accomplish the user's stated task. Explanatory rows describe what a given command does, its key flags, and caveats.

Sources (provenance-tracked)

Source Type Content
Embedded corpus (345 entries) Static Bash builtins (55), shell syntax (40), common Linux commands (100), scripting patterns (25), git/docker/systemd, Arch Linux operations (35), Ubuntu/Debian operations (35)
GNU Bash Reference Manual Fetched + cached Official Bash 5.3 reference (builtins, expansions, syntax)
Arch Wiki — Bash Fetched + cached Arch-specific Bash configuration and tips
Arch Wiki — Pacman Fetched + cached Package management operations
Greg's Wiki — BashPitfalls Fetched + cached Common scripting mistakes and correct alternatives
Greg's Wiki — BashFAQ Fetched + cached Frequently asked Bash scripting questions

Embedded corpus categories

Category Count Description
builtin ~55 All major Bash builtins (cd, echo, read, export, trap, set, declare, getopts, history, etc.)
syntax ~40 Quoting, expansion, redirection, pipes, heredocs, process substitution, globbing, parameter expansion, control flow (if, for, while, case, select)
command ~100 grep, sed, awk, find, xargs, sort, cut, tr, curl, rsync, ssh, tar, chmod, git, docker, systemctl, journalctl, etc.
scripting ~25 Strict mode, functions, argument parsing, temp files, lock files, retry patterns, arrays, associative arrays
arch ~35 pacman operations, AUR (yay/paru), makepkg, mkinitcpio, reflector, NetworkManager, kernel management
ubuntu ~35 apt/dpkg, Snaps, PPAs, ufw, netplan, do-release-upgrade, update-alternatives, Flatpak

System prompts

  • SYSTEM_CMD — Produce the exact command or script. Use best-practice flags, POSIX-compatible syntax where possible, && for chaining. No commentary unless asked.
  • SYSTEM_EXPLAIN — Explain what a command does, its key flags, and caveats, in 1–3 sentences.
  • SYSTEM_SCRIPT — Write a complete runnable script with #!/usr/bin/env bash, set -euo pipefail, and proper error handling.

Row kinds

  • nl_to_cmd — Natural language task → exact command(s).
  • nl_to_cmd_alt — Alternative phrasing of the same task → same command.
  • cmd_to_explain — Command string → plain-English description.

Augmentation kinds

  • none — Direct from embedded or fetched corpus.
  • distro_slot — Generic command reframed with "on Arch Linux" or "on Ubuntu" suffix in the user prompt; same assistant answer.
  • oversample — Same assistant answer, user prompt rewritten with a different NL template from a bank of 10 phrasings.

Scale

Mode Typical Row Count
Base (no --augment) ~5,100
--augment --target-rows 1000000 1,000,000

What This Dataset Is NOT

  • Not a Bash tutorial or course. Rows are isolated Q&A pairs, not sequential lessons. There is no curriculum ordering or prerequisite tracking.
  • Not shell-agnostic. Commands target Bash specifically. Zsh, Fish, and POSIX sh may diverge on syntax ([[ ]], arrays, shopt, process substitution). The dataset does not flag Bash-only constructs.
  • Not a complete man-page replacement. Coverage prioritizes commonly used flags and patterns. Obscure options and corner-case behaviors of each command are not exhaustively documented.
  • Not distro-neutral. Arch and Ubuntu rows use distro-specific package managers (pacman, apt), init systems, and config paths. They will produce incorrect commands on Fedora, Alpine, or other distributions.
  • Not a system administration runbook. It teaches individual commands and short scripts, not multi-step infrastructure deployment, monitoring strategy, or incident response procedures.
  • Not validated against a specific Bash version. Most syntax targets Bash 4.4+ / 5.x. Some constructs (${var,,}, ${var^^}, declare -A, mapfile) require Bash 4.0 or later and will fail on older systems.
  • Not safety-filtered. Destructive commands (rm -rf, dd, mkfs) appear as valid answers. No refusal patterns or warnings are included. Apply your own safety layer if needed.
